I launched a project around Thanksgiving that runs until Dec 30. I'd like to share the progress. It is currently 175% funded.
Thanksgiving weekend saw 40% of the goal pledged
Christmas Eve and Christmas 13%
The past four days have been the largest upsurge, raising 66% of the goal
People are busy over the holidays, but they are often taking time off from work. This means they are focused on doing things for themselves. There are a lot of competing interests for spending, but also holiday budgets are more discretionary than in any other season. People spend a lot on themselves after they finish their Christmas shopping.
In my online store, I see an uptick in sales between Christmas and New Years, every year.
The project is nsfw. If you want to see, it is here:
